Utvalda projekt
The "MetaForum Innovation for more Health" started as a project at Fraunhofer ISI under the leadership of Bernhard Bührlen, including a series of three conferences 2007-2009. It is now a private non-profit association for the promotion of innovation in healthcare, developing concepts and carrying out discussion events to foster interaction between all relevant stakeholders with a focus on policy-makers.
As a funding agency for innovation, the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation (KTI/CTI) supports joint projects of enterprises and research institutions. Based on a study by Fraunhofer ISI from 1996, the KTI Initiative MedTech started its project funding in 1998. Flanking that, communication activities, support of SMEs in quality assurance, coaching of start-ups, identification of new problem areas and challenges as well as of existing competencies, agency of contacts and of market information about medical technology were offered as accompanying measures.
